You know what hot Weather does to stock. Well, Milwaukee is well favored, 

 as we have no very hot weather here, and in consequence stock of all kinds is still in 

 good shape. Big cut of fancy Carnations, Roses and Giganteums. Try a few shipments 

 and be convinced.

tends to go more heavily into the cutting 

 business. 



After having spent several hundred 

 dollars in fitting up the store at 73 Jack- 

 son boulevard, the Batons have come to 

 the conclusion that it is too small for 

 their needs and are offering their lease 

 for sale. 



The assuming of office by the new 

 chief of police August 23 made a call 

 for Beauties and a few other flowers, 

 numerous large designs and bunches be- 

 ing sent by his friends and those who 

 hope to be his friends. The most notable 

 piece was a 6-foot floral urn made of 

 asters and filled with long-stemmed Beau- 

 ties. 



C. W, McKellar and Mrs. McKellar 

 are planning an automobile trip with 

 friends in Michigan. 



C. L. Washburn says Beauties are 

 coming in nicely now and he expects to 

 see the market heavily supplied within a 

 week. 



The E. F. Winterson Co. has moved 

 the wire workers from the basement to 

 the balcony on the street floor and will 

 hereafter have the entire basement for 

 cut flowers and greens. A number of 

 improvements are to be made in the next 

 few weeks. 



L. H. Winterson is on vacation this 

 week. Mrs. Winterson is visiting at 

 Louisville. 



E. C. Amling is entertaining a nephew 

 and niece who are here from Orange, 

 Cal. 



August and Adolph Poehlmann and 



their families went to Cleveland and De- 

 troit for a few days after the conven- 

 tion, but were home early this week.

 his family, and L. B. Bohannon and 

 family are at Fremont, Mich., for their 

 outing. 



The Manos flower stand in the Union 

 depot is closed while Mr. and Mrs. 

 Manos are doing the summer resorts. 



Poehlmann Bros. Co. has begun to cut 

 October Frost, the first white chrysanthe- 

 mum to come on the market. They are 

 good, but there is no special rush to 

 get mums, either yellow or white, at 

 this season. 



Kennicott Bros. Co. says August 23 

 was one of the best days of the sum- 

 mer and that the preceding ten days saw 

 better business than ordinary in sum- 

 mer, due to a special call for asters. 



Frank Johnson, of the A. L. Bandall 

 Co., went from the Cincinnati convention 

 straight north into Michigan for a few 

 days' vacation. 



C. M. Dickinson says the months of 

 July and August have been the best mid- 

 summer months in the history of E. H. 

 Hunt's. 



Vaughan & Sperry have begun to re- 

 ceive dahlias of the decorative type and 

 say they have sold well thus far. When 

 E. 8. Thompson begins to cut his crop 

 in Michigan they will have many thou- 

 sands a day. 



E. E. Pieser expects to get away Au- 

 gust 30 for a three weeks' rest, going

a hay fever sufferer and who has pre- 

 ceded him.
